Porsche Hood Crest

A quick and simple little project - replacing the hood crest with a custom colored one from "intrepidagent" on rennlist.

The Original Crest.
  It's in good shape, but it's the only gold color on the entire car.

Porsche Photography Class

Our local PCA chapter hosted a fun and educational photography class last month.  A big thanks to Charlie for running the class and to Park Place Porsche for hosting the event.

For me, the highlight of the class was the live photo contest.  Here were the contest constraints:

  • 45 min to shoot in the Park Place Porsche parking garage
  • Photos must the interaction of people and cars (in keeping with PCA goals)
  • 15 min to choose your single favorite photo
The contest presented a number of challenges.  We were shooting mid-day on a Texas summer day -- harsh sunlight!  Inside the parking deck, this meant very bright light at the periphery with low light on the cars.  It was also a bit challenging trying to figure out how to work people into the photos as we were all busy trying to shoot.  The photos entered in the "contest" can been seen on the Maverick PCA website here:  http://mavpca.org/photos/MRPhotoGallery/Technical%20Events/Tech%20Seminars/2014/index.html

Thanks to a generous interpretation of "people", my photo won second place!  Click past the break for the prize winning photo.
